During March 8 of 2006 we carried out the first sampling of the dry season as part of the NOAA-CREST project. During this cruise ten stations were sampled and over 15 bio-optical parameters were measured. Several graduate students collected data for their thesis including: Patrick Reyes (currently supported by NOAA-CREST) and Ramon Lopez from Marine Sciences, and Claudia Tapia from Biology. In this trip the new GERS Lab graduate student, Vilmaliz Rodriguez from Geology, had the opportunity to learn more about this project. She is currently supported by NOAA-CREST.
